This may have been an uncopyrighted movie or clip. He did not say it was
copyrighted so I will assume it is not. Assuming that is the case, try the
nero 6 trial version and copy the movie as an SVCD or VCD (the menus are
very easy to follow). There are other trial authoring tools available such
as TMPGenc (Author), which is very common and can both author and burn your
VCD/SVCD like nero but is $50.00 US cheaper for the registered version (free
for the trial version like nero 6). If you want to be more certain of being
able to watch the clip, know that most DVD players will also play VCD, and
many (but not as many), also play SVCD. Also, if your mpg is mpeg1 and you
know it, just author it as a VCD; it will save you time. Mpeg2 gives you a
much better picture - SVCD is mpeg2. You cannot make your VCD look better
than the source. Of course, this ng does not support illegal activities but
the gent did not actually need to tell you this! That is this is common
knowledge in this ng. Still, there are many indpendent films out there, some
of which are much better than the copyrighted MPAA releases, and in any case
you are entitled 'fair use' in the USA and perhaps more in Canada.
Obviously, the internet knows no national boundaries although our less
enlightened govt officials have no idea of what is or is not possible to
regulate on a server or client in, say, the Bahamas or Canada, which I
remind the other poster are independent soveriegn states, whether the US
legislature believes it or not. Having said that, this ng assumes compliance
with USA law.
